Hey Stan and Marshall, around 55:40 you guys say that Lynda is something you must pay for outside of school. Good news, this is incorrect. There was a kerfuffle when LinkedIn bought Lynda. Something something tax breaks, something something outrage ... whatever happened, now most county libraries give you a FREE Lynda account with a library card. Here's a link with more details, but seriously, all you need is a form of ID to get your local library card, and then google "____ library branch Lynda portal" and you're all set. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/lynda-com-free-library/

LESSON NOTES

Recreating art school from home ends with a discussion about how much equipment an art student needs and the importance of a productive workspace. Stan and Marshall talk about starting digital painting with $65, how a little discomfort can be beneficial, how limitations can improve or hurt creativity, and separating work from home.

We end the recreating art school series with Workspace & Equipment! We talk about starting digital painting with $65, how a little discomfort can be beneficial, how limitations can improve or hurt creativity, and separating work from home.

I never ate at Quiznos but I remember some of their marketing was very cringe, so much so that it put me off of them. They had some weird creepy Quiznos beasties singing, yuck!
